“If I’m acting at all, it’s going to be under Marvel contract, or I’m going to be directing,” Evans said. “I can’t see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I’m contractually obligated to do.”

“I’ve known for a while I wanted to direct,” Evans, who recently completed his debut feature, a love story called 1:30 Train, said. “But [time] never really opens up. There’s another movie to do, there’s another acting job. It just got to point where I was like, you know what – I have to do this.”

Evans admits he may change his mind: “For all I know, in five years, I might say, ‘S–––, I miss acting.'” But he repeats, “Right now, I just want to get behind the camera and make movies.”
